Assad does to rebel strongholds in Syria what Israel does in Gaza, and is branded a war criminal. Hardly seems fair. Don’t get me wrong, I’m on Israel’s side, but Assad, a very moderate muslim, is the best hope for peace in Syria, IMO.
Assad has indiscriminately (and, in some cases, purposely) murdered tens or hundreds of thousands of Syrians. Israel goes out of its way, at the cost of wounded and killed soldiers on its side, to avoid civilian casualties among the Paleoswinians. There is a BIG difference between the two sides.
That said, Assad is the best hope to defeat the radical Muzzies. He cares no more for his professed religion than Obama or any other power-hungry SOB. He cares only for himself.
